On the 14th June 2017, a fire engulfed a tower block in West
London, seventy-two people lost their lives and hundreds of others
were left displaced and traumatised. The Grenfell Tower fire is the
epicentre of a long history of violence enacted by government and
corporations. On its second anniversary activists, artists and
academics come together to respond, remember and recover the
disaster. The Grenfell Tower fire illustrates Britain's symbolic
order; the continued logic of colonialism, the disposability of
working class lives, the marketisation of social provision and
global austerity politics, and the negligence and malfeasance of
multinational contractors. Exploring these topics and more, the
contributors construct critical analysis from legal, cultural,
media, community and government responses to the fire, asking
whether, without remedy for multifaceted power and violence, we
will ever really be 'after' Grenfell? With poetry by Ben Okri and
Tony Walsh, and photographs by Parveen Ali, Sam Boal and Yolanthe
Fawehinmi. With contributions from Phil Scraton, Daniel Renwick,
Nadine El-Enany, Sarah Keenan, Gracie Mae Bradley and The Radical
Housing Network.
